ON THE FLOWERING BIOLOGY OF BETA COROLLIFLORA AND HABLITZIA TAMNOIDES (BETOIDEAE, CHENOPODIACEAE)
Keywords:
Beta corolliflora, Hablitzia tamnoides, flowering biologyAbstract
The article presents some data on Beta corolliflora and Hablitzia tamnoides (Betoideae, Chenopodiaceae) flowering biology. In both species similar peculiarities were revealed in the sequence of flowers opening in the inflorescence clusters, in the dichogamy with pronounced protandry form, and in flower opening mechanisms in staminate stage. The article is illustrated with original photographs.
